ISO Rating

Our last ISO rating for our Fire Department was a 5. This ISO, or Insurance Services Organization rating is used by insurance companies to determine fire insurance rates for industry, business, and residential polices.

ISO collects information on municipal fire protection efforts in communities throughout the United States. In each of those communities, ISO analyzes the relevant data using the Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS).

They then assign a public protection classification from 1 to 10. Class 1 represents exemplary public protection, and class 10 indicates that the area’s fire suppression program does not meet ISO’s minimum criteria.
